Overexpressing rice lesion simulating disease 1-like gene (OsLOL1) in Gossypium hirsutum promotes somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration

Table 1 Cotton callus induction, somatic embryogenesis, and regenerating plantlets

Samples	Explants^a	Induced-calli per explant	Embryogenic calli per explant^b	Plantlets per embryogenic callus^c
Overexpressed-OsLOL1	152.3 ± 18.2	1.76 ± 0.15	0.91 ± 0.07^**	11.8 ± 2.2^**
Empty vector	156.6 ± 16.5	1.64 ± 0.12	0.39 ± 0.04	3.6 ± 1.1

^a Means ± SD come from 3 experiment repeats. ^b sum of embryogenic calli counted until 90 d after explant transformation. ^c sum of regenerating plantlets for twice subculture of embryogenic callus. ** extremely significant differences (P < 0.01) of overexpressed-OsLOL1 compared with empty vector by Student’s t-test
